The horse people looked at each other, and it was so powerful that in addition to more than 500 guards of the Ma family knights, they also brought dozens of large cars. The cars were filled with local specialties from Tokyo Road, Liao Kingdom, such as ginseng, deer antler, fur, etc.

The old man from the horse, who had white hair and beard, took the lead and walked in front of the team. He did not wear Khitan leather robe or Song people's clothing today, but also wore a red round-neck robe, a cloak on his outside, and a long-legged head on his head.

This is dressed as a Tang Dynasty dress, and it looks like an old man who has traveled from the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Haogu knew that Old Man Ma had put his thoughts in dressing up. In Lushun, the Youzhou Army, which defeated the main force of the Liao army, actually had the qualifications to establish a country in the north. This country, whether it is a republic or an empire, would definitely not be able to inherit the legal system of the Liao Kingdom. If that happens, wouldn’t it be linked to the barbarians?

In addition, Wu Haogu could not establish a country with a treacherous minister in the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, there would be suspicion of treacherous ministers and thieves.

Therefore, the best way is to inherit the legal tradition of the Tang Dynasty.

The old man had already thought about it. His theory was that the Song Dynasty did not unify the world, so he was not qualified to fully inherit the orthodox handed down from the Tang Dynasty.

The sixteen states seized by the Liao Kingdom from the Central Plains were taken from the Later Tang Dynasty. Later Tang considered itself to be the successor of the Tang Dynasty, so the sixteen states could be regarded as part of the Tang Dynasty.

The Khitan obtained sixteen states, which was equivalent to obtaining part of the legal system of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Li Shimin was supported by the grassland tribes and became the Tiankang Khan, and the Tang Dynasty became a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral empire like the Liao Kingdom. The part of the grassland empire of the Tang Dynasty was also seized by the Liao Kingdom!

Therefore, the Liao Kingdom seized part of the legal system of the Tang Dynasty and became part of "China".

Now the Youzhou army led by Wu Haogu captured Yan land, led the army to Liaodong, defeated the Khitan soldiers, and recovered the Tang Dynasty's hometown that fell into the Khitan. Naturally, half of the Tang Dynasty's legal system can be inherited and compete with the Song Dynasty in the south.

Moreover, Wu Haogu's ancestor was Wu Shisheng, the king of Taiyuan, the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian, who had revolutionized the Tang Dynasty. It has some blood relationship with the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he is more qualified to obtain the legal system of the Tang Dynasty...

"Ma Shibo, I haven't seen him for many days, can you be safe?"

Wu Haogu was the first to hug Ma Renwang from afar, and politely called him Shiwang.

The horse man didn't give any big gift to Wu Haogu, but smiled and returned the gift immediately: "King, I have congratulated you! The great victory of Lushun, Liao lost his deer!"

"Ma Shibo, why did Liao lose his deer?" Zhao Zhongge, who went out of the city with Wu Haogu, asked with a smile, "It should be our Republican army that seized the deer from Liao?"

The horse man had already rode his horse to Wu Haogu and smiled: "I haven't taken it yet! Not to mention Zhongjing Road, Shangjing Road, Xijing Road, and Tokyo Road are the territory of Tokyo Road, so our Republican Army did not occupy much."

It has become the "our Republican Army". Old Man Ma is really gone!

However, he is indeed not an outsider. The origin of the Republican Army was Jiehe Commercial City. When Jiehe Commercial City was able to be opened, Ma Rensheng hoped that Ma Zhi's uncle and nephew made great contributions.

Moreover, the Ma family is also one of the 36 founding elders of Jiehe Commercial City!

Although the Ma family is not in the Senate of Youzhou, it is just a need for the Liao struggle. Now that the Ma family and the Khitan have officially broken up, it is natural to join the Republic. Can the Senate be without a seat from the Ma family?

As for Ma Zhi's behavior of occupying Kai, Bao, Ding and Xuan and peeking at Goryeo, it does not pose a challenge to the Youzhou Republican regime. There are already autonomous prefectures and counties under the republic regime.

Even if Ma Zhi wants to take over Goryeo as king, Youzhou has no reason not to support him.

Wu Haogu exchanged a few greetings with Ma Renwang, and then went to Jinzhou City with him.

On the way, Wu Haogu and Ma Renwang found out the latest situation in Tokyo Road.

"King, today, the four families each have one share in Tokyo Road." Ma Renwang said with his fingers, "Our Republican Army accounts for one share, the Liao Kingdom accounts for one share, the Jurchens accounts for one share, and the Bohai people accounts for one share."

There is no share in the Ma family... Ma Renwang certainly knew Ma Zhi's plan to advance eastward. Now the Ma family is going to "not compete for hegemony". The capital of the Ma family is too small compared to the Republican Army and the Jurchens, and it cannot be put on the table. However, within the Republican Army, the capital of the Ma family will be second only to the Wu family. It is no problem to be a veteran for generations and occupy a piece of hereditary territory.

So Ma Renwang planned to settle for the second best, and first follow Wu Haogu to become a founding hero.

"The Liao Kingdom still has the strength to stay in Tokyo Road?" Wu Haogu asked.

"The strength is still a little bit." Ma Renwang said, "The lean camel is bigger than the horse. Besides, there are three families here, Republic, Jurchen, and Bohai..."

"Three families are united?" Wu Haogu smiled, "The people of Bohai are worthy?"

"The Bohai people, the Jurchens, are finally one!" Ma Renwang reminded, "And the Bohai slave population is large, and it is no less than our Han people in Tokyo. If the Republican Army cannot quickly wipe out them, it is not certain who belongs to the Liaohe River!"

Wu Haogu nodded slightly. Although the old man was slick, he could still be used by the Republican Army at present.

The horse man paused, "But once the Bohai slave country is destroyed by me, the population in the Liaohe River Basin will go north to Huanglong Prefecture. Huanglong Prefecture, like both sides of the Liaohe River, has thousands of miles of fertile land, but there are only a lack of people to cultivate it. Once the Bohai people go north, they will be used for the Jurchens. Then the strength of a Jurchens will increase greatly. From the current 100,000 households to hundreds of thousands!

As long as Gao Yongchang's Bohai Sea is destroyed quickly, it is not worth mentioning, but the Jin Kingdom has to be guarded against when he has a Jurchen! If there are hundreds of thousands of households, will the war on Tokyo Road still end?"

There are no eternal friends! If you give birth to a Jurchen, you are not eternal friends!

"What do you mean is a country with the Bohai people?" Wu Haogu asked.

"I didn't say that," Ma Renwang smiled, touching his white beard, "I just made a suggestion, either destroy the Bohai Sea quickly or keep the Bohai people's country. Never let the Bohai people send troops after they grow bigger in the Liaohe River."

Wu Haogu looked at Brother Zhao Zhong, and Brother Zhao Zhong said, "The king just orders. The invincible thing our Republican Army is to be invincible, and the Bohai Sea is not worthy of the truth!"

"Destroy quickly!" Wu Haogu said two words.

There is nothing to be polite!

The republic citizens of Youzhou and the poor and lower-middle peasants who were not citizens showed great enthusiasm for the new republican regime! They have made choices for the republican government with their own actions.

The Republican government must seize enough land for them!

"If the Bohai people are destroyed," Ma Renwang said, "It's time for our alliance with the Jurchens to end. In this way, the Khitans will not collapse for the time being. Basically, there is no share in Tokyo Road. In the entire northern part, our Republic and Jurchens and the Khitans will be in a three-legged stalemate."

It is just a matter of time to take over the territory of the Bohai people. Considering the relationship between the Bohai people and the Jurchens, it is only a matter of time before the Jurchens and Republic turn against each other.

Once the Republican government and the Jurchens turned against each other, the Liao Kingdom would be able to survive for a while.

"Isn't there another one?" Brother Zhao Zhong asked.

"The attitude of "Herbian is ambiguous," said Ma Renwang. "There is no right now."

"Didn't the Khitan be defeated?" Wu Haogu was a little strange.

Brother Zhao Zhong explained: "The Khitan was defeated in Liaodong, which does not mean that they are not able to do it on the grassland.

After all, the Khitans are the people of the grassland, and the thousands of miles of grassland are their straits. We can defeat the Khitans in Youzhou, Liaodong, Yunzhong, and even in the mountainous areas of Zhongjing Road, but when we reach the grassland and desert, it is not certain who wins and loses.

When fighting on the grassland, it is the most important thing to be able to run! The Khitans are stronger than us. They have more war horses, and they are all Khitan horses that can run on the grassland."

"So that's it." Wu Haogu smiled, "It's okay, the three-legged tripod is the three-legged tripod! What's there to worry about? Our republic is just the first to rise now, and it will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future. There is nothing to stop us!"

After hearing this, Ma Renwang's eyes lit up: "Where is the State of Song?"

Wu Haogu just smiled but said nothing.

...

Tokyo Road, Chenzhou Castle.

The Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty once again appeared outside Chenzhou City. Under the divine flag, the emperor's imperial tent and the surrounding guards were still stacked. It seemed that there were still 200,000 troops stationed here.

However, Empress Dowager Xiao and several important officials in the emperor's tent knew that most of the tents here were empty.

The Liao army gathered in Chenzhou now has only a total of more than 40,000 people.

"Is there no news about Xiao Wuna and Xiao Fengxian?" Xiao Sesse, who was sitting on the imperial throne, asked coldly.

"Report to the Empress Dowager," Xiao Taosuwu replied, "Last night, Xiao Wuna and Xiao Fengxian's defeated soldiers came from the territory of the Hesuguan division... It was said that it was Xiao Wuna, Xiao Fengxian's army was chased and attacked by the rebels of the Bohai Sea and the cavalry of the Youzhou army, and forced into the Hesuguan mountains. Because of heavy snow, the mountains were blocked and the difficulty of moving, so they suffered heavy losses. More than 100,000 people, but now there are only 30,000 to 40,000, and are ready to cross the Hesuguan division territory and retreat to Liaoyang Prefecture."

"Can Liaoyang Prefecture still be guarded?" Xiao Sesse asked.

"Report to the Empress Dowager," Yelu Yu said, "Wu Haogu personally led a 100,000 army to Jinzhou, and the area around Xianzhou and Yiwulu Mountain near Jinzhou were controlled by Ma Renwang. Ma Zhi had already surrendered to the enemy, and most of the horses would also surrender to Wu Haogu. Wu, after the horses joined forces, there were always 150,000, and there were thousands of iron cavalry and many large tubes...

Liaoyang is afraid it is difficult to defend. For the sake of the present, we can only abandon the territory of Liaoyang Prefecture and the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River, concentrate our troops in several states near Shangjing Road in the west of Tokyo Road, try our best to hold on, restrain Youzhou and the birth of daughters, and observe the changes in the three directions of Youzhou, daughters, and Bohai."

Xiao Sesse, who had just become Empress Xiao, nodded slightly, "Then recall Xiao Wu'er and let Xiao Baoxian and Xiao Fengxian be appointed as the commander of the Tokyo Road Army, and be fully responsible for the Tokyo Road military affairs."
